| Nobody told me it would be good
|
| But I still wanted it to be
|
| Do your homework like you should
|
| Hoping something sets you free
|
| Whatll it be Afraid of ultimate decay
|
| Never stopping but to rust
|
| Eager to get it underway
|
| Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if you must
|
| And if you want to worship truth
|
| Be it medicine, meditation or God on the evening news
|
| Or a fairy tale I might sing to you
|
| But as you learn you will increase
|
| You will affect your own release
|
| A million ways to hear its voice
|
| And in the end youve got no choice
|
| You will finally feel aware
|
| Of what youre part of everywhere
|
| And theres an answer when you pray
|
| The way of things, there is a way
|
| The way of things, there is a way
|
| You tell me God is dead
|
| Well I say God always was
|
| Life and death, living and dying all at once
|
| Thats all it ever does
|
| Could be God is our idea
|
| And ideas never die
|
| Created in its image
|
| We seek its light from up on high, give it a try
|
| And if you want to worship truth
|
| Be it medicine, meditation or God on the evening news
|
| Or a fairy tale I might sing to you
|
| But as you learn you will increase
|
| You will affect your own release
|
| A million ways to hear its voice
|
| And in the end youve got no choice
|
| You will finally feel aware
|
| Of what youre part of everywhere
|
| And theres an answer when you pray
|
| The way of things, there is a way
|
| The way of things, there is a way
|
| I wanna try to play the way
|
| Like r2-d2 squeaks and beeps and tells me everything
|
| You know theres so much else to say
|
| That the only way to even try is to just to start your riffing
|
| Is it the chicken or the egg
|
| Its the very notion to even try to figure out which one came first
|
| I hate to see somebody beg
|
| The infinite eternal chase
|
| The quenching of the thirst
|
| And if you want to worship truth
|
| Be it medicine, meditation or God on the evening news
|
| Or a fairy tale I might sing to you
|
| But as you learn you will increase
|
| You will affect your own release
|
| A million ways to hear its voice

| The way of things, there is a way
|
| The way of things, there is a way
|
| There is a way
|
| There is a way
